đź“Ś Episode Summary:
I thought I was ready. I thought I had it together. But when the casket closed, so did the lid on a lifetime of suppressed emotions.
In this raw, final walk-through of my father’s funeral, burial, and repass, I open up about grieving in the presence of fake smiles, old predators, and a family name wrapped in complicated love.
From social anxiety to sacred boundaries, this episode is about more than death—it’s about telling the truth, even when no one wants to hear it. And it’s about learning how to release pain without needing permission.
If you've ever buried someone physically while still holding emotional weight, this one’s for you.
Guided Meditation (3–4 min):
✨ “I’m Still Here” – A short grounding practice for those who’ve carried grief and rage in the same breath. Find your center and reclaim your peace.
Access is inside the episode.
Lessons Learned:
🖤 Closure doesn’t always come clean—it’s messy and rarely linear.
đź–¤ You are not obligated to grieve politely.
đź–¤ You can feel proud and pissed at the same time.
🖤 Protect your peace—especially in sacred moments.
🖤 Say what needs to be said, even if it’s not received.
🖤 Release the fantasy. Accept what was. Choose what’s next.
✨ If this episode speaks to your soul, share it. Text it to someone navigating their own messy grief.
